Printer Model Descriptions and Key Features
The Printek FormsPro 4000 Series Printers are high speed, heavy duty serial dot
matrix printers designed especially for printing upon hard to print forms which are
often not printed adequately by other printers. Of course, the FormsPro 4000 series
printers will also print on lighter forms.
All printers provide straight paper paths for jam free paper motion and a zero waste
tear bar for demand document applications.
The operator may permanently record up to ten complete sets of form parameters
which may be later selected either at the printer's control panel or from the host
computer. The FormsPro 4503 provides three sets of tractors, any of which can be
included in the form parameters for a particular form. This allows the printer to
automatically unload one form and load another when selected, without requiring the
operator to touch the paper.
The printers come equipped with an industry standard parallel interface and an RS-
232C serial interface. The printers may optionally be ordered with an RS-422 serial
interface, or a coaxial/twinaxial interface which emulates an IBM 3287 printer or an
IBM 4214, 5225, or 5256 printer.
Other options include a 32K buffer which increases the standard 4K character input
buffer to 28K characters, and internal bar code support which also includes the
optional OCR-A and OCR-B fonts.
A specially designed print stand which holds multiple paper supplies is also available.
